Writer of 'Law & Order: SVU' Spin-off Gets Fired Over Controversial Post

Amidst all the fiascos that has been going on in the world right now, one of the most talked about ones has been racism against George Floyd leading to his death. There has been another issue that has been piling up lately where Dick Wolf has taken swift action against a recently hired writer following the latter's controversial social media post.

Craig Gore was hired in early May to work on NBC's Wolf-produced Law & Order: SVU spinoff starring Christopher Meloni. On Monday night, amid protests in West Hollywood, Gore posted a photo of himself armed with what appears to be an assault rifle.

"Sunset is being looted two blocks from me. You think I wont light motherfuckers up who are trying to fuck w/ my property I worked all my life for? Think again…"

Wolf on Tuesday fired Gore, who previously worked for the prolific showrunner on NBC's Chicago PD.

"I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately," Wolf said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

NBC picked up the untitled SVU spinoff in March. The drama revolves around an NYPD organized crime unit led by Meloni's beloved former SVU character Stabler.
